Help me give my students a variety of therapeutic tools to calm their nervous systems.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Griego's classroom raised $223
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on the mental and emotional well-being of teenagers across our community. In these challenging times, our students deserve to have access to coping mechanisms to help restore their peace of mind.
The tools and resources proposed by this project, such as various stress balls, fidget poppers and stress strips, will not solve all of our problems, but it’s a start.
By giving students tools such as these to manipulate during class, our students will start to learn to strategies to calm their nervous systems. This will help them in their learning environment to be fully engaged and successful.
By funding this project, you are not only investing in the well-being of our youth, but also contributing to the long-term health and resilience of our community as a whole.
We hope you will consider supporting this vital initiative to help teens overcome the negative impact of COVID-19 so that they can create a brighter future!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
